a new teacher

Sora was calmly sitting on the roof of the Inazuma mansion. He had some kunai spread out around him together with some steel strings. He just sat there enjoying the nice weather outside while he was busy making a couple of weapons. He was tying a 1 meter ninja string to two kunai's. It was something he created himself not sure if it would work or not but he was attempting to try something new.

Sora wasn't really working hard on it or anything he was just tying everything calmly while he bobbed his head on a song that he got stuck in his head. His loose clothes would weave in the wind a bit and it the wind would blow a bit too hard his hand shoot towards the string making sure the didn't blow away.

When he was done he let out a sigh and started laying on the roof placing everything calmly into his hip pouches before he started staring at the clouds. Sora didn't have a lot of friends or anything since he mostly kept to himself and wasn't much of a talker. He never really talked when he said something is wasn't more that a couple of words.

The Inazuma clan is a few members yet had proven to be a capable bunch according to the files. Morikawa had seen one or two members of that clan before, but never in action. It was usually when he has to seal up a wound or two and even curing one’s body of poison. His fiery long jacket flowing behind him as a backpack can be seen on his person. The mind preoccupied with the mission details and is actually a bit bothered that he can’t find the other one. For whatever reason that may have, Morikawa can’t be spending too much time looking for the kid. So he went to find the other student of his.

Morikawa comes upon the Inazuma mansion as he looks up at the building. Noting the structure, windows, doors, and those lovely decorations that his golden eyes can see. Nonetheless he wasn’t here to observe the scenery. The jonin walks up to the entrance and proceeds to knock three times loud and clear. He would patiently wait for an answer, though at the same time he felt like he was being watched. Mori would look over his shoulder as he scans behind him with those eyes. Morikawa couldn’t place it, and chose to ignore it for the time being.

While Sora was calmly laying on the roof staring at the sky with his own blue grey eyes if his He heard some knocking coming from the entrance. His eyes shot towards the side and he rolled a bit over towards the edge so he could see what was going on. Sora saw a Jounin standing infront of the door. He narrowed his eyes a bit before he lets out a small sigh.

When the Jounin looked back to scan his surrounding Sora calmly dropped himself off the roof landing almost soundless on the ground before he jumped up quickly again and climbed ontop of the small narrow rooftop above the entrance. Sora would calmly sit there with his legs dangling down the edge above the Jounin when the Jounin would look back at the door. Sora wondered what the Jounin was doing here although he didn't say a single word.

Sora also wondered if the Jounin read Sora's file. It wouldn't have been amazing or anything although it would state that Sora passed everything without much effort while he was mostly sleeping or absent during his academy years. Sora was the one that never made his homework or anything but still passed everything fairly easily. No one really knew why since no one really paid attention to him.

Well what was thought to be nearly silent Morikawa heard footsteps climbing up. As such he would turn his attention towards the source of the noise and spots a young man that sat at the roof. The jonin raised a brow as a chuckle can be heard from him. “I take it that you’re Sora Inazuma?” The Inazuma clan are a powerful clan that once led a war against the Hozuki fleet over trade amongst the seas. The Inazuma won after 10 bloody years and took out a good chunk of the fleet in the process. So least to say they are pretty competent in just about anything they do provided they have the time and resources.

The problem is because of that trade war the Inazuma’s reputation had earned a stain as being a bloodthirsty family. Still Morikawa didn’t hold that against the kid, and after getting a closer look at him Morikawa can see signs of training. At the same time there was a sense of curiosity from the genin. “If you are then i have a job for you, and don’t worry i will be tagging along for the trip.” Morikawa was purposely vague for he didn’t wish to tell the details of his mission to the wrong person. Besides if this was actually a relative of Sora Inazuma, which his appearance mostly matches what was said in the file, then surely mentioning a job would motivate Sora to coming along.

Sora looked towards the Jounin with a tired yet emotionless glaze in his eyes when he said his name. He just nodded a bit a bit to make the jounin know he was Sora. Well he was the only Sora of the family ssoo yea.

Sora knew his family got a history although that was pretty much expected of one of the clans lived for such a long time. Sora didn't really care about the clan's history though well Sora didn't care about a lot of things. He was himself although he would do more for his clan then most people would realize.

Sora lets out a sigh when he heard the man had a job for him Sora just looked at the sky for a couple of seconds before looking back at the man with the same tired yet emotionless expression on his face he always carried. "Who do I have to kill?" his words sounded tired and lazy. Like he didn't even care about a single life or anything. He may have sounded blunt to some people but Sora didn't like the go around the bush. He never wanted to waste energy in more words than were needed.

Morikawa only chuckled as while it wasn’t exactly a response he was expecting from a genin, but this kid showed similar to how Morikawa used to be. “Well technically you don’t have to kill anyone. We’re to clear out an outpost just north from the village. It is filled with plunderers and murderers.” Morikawa paused for a moment as he adjusted the strap on his shoulder. “Thankfully it is just a small group from what intel we got so far, but the sooner we get rid of them the lesser of a problem they pose.”

He pulled out his left hand from the jacket pocket and forms a single sign. Morikawa unseals the mark on his left forearm and reveals a scroll which rolls onto his palm. With a light toss, Morikawa hurls the scroll in the air just high enough for Sora to catch by simply extending his arm out. “Specific details are in that scroll. I suggest you start packing for at least a week’s travel foodwise. It’ll be awhile before we actually get to the site.” Morikawa expressed as he slips his left hand back into that fiery jacket pocket.

So this was what his genin looked like. Morikawa can see that there’s an obvious lack of motivation, and while that is more than ideal for a shinobi Morikawa feels there is something else hidden underneath that exterior. That persona Sora gives off is like a suit of iron armor to guard against emotions from being expressed and interfering with work. Most people in the military has that side within them, but they generally don’t resort to that unless on a mission. Perhaps Morikawa can find someway to slip past that armor just to see what’s underneath it. Pure intellectual curiosity was Mori’s motivation, but for now his mind is focused on the task at hand.

Mission Details:

Tech Used:

Sora just nodded towards the jounin when he said he wouldn't have to kill anyone. Sora didn't really care if he had too or not though but when he heard the stories of his mom it mostly involved killing someone soo he went out from that. When the Jounin throws the scroll up Sora simply caught it. He didn't bother to open it since he big chance the Jounin read it already and knew all the info for now. "I don't read information beside locations. Everything could be old news."Sora said calmly before he threw the scroll back towards the Jounin.

Sora calmly pushed himself off the edge and landed on his feed "I am ready when you are" Sora already had his trench knives hanging in their holsters and his hip pouches filled with the weapons he used. He wasn't someone that brought food along the way. When Sora was traveling he lived off nature. It could take a bit longer but it saved packing time and strength needed to carry the food. Eating berries and stuff that he finds along the way works perfectly fine for Sora.

Sora placed his hoody over his head and started walking towards the gate. Sora was maybe a genin but his footsteps were awfully quiet for one.

“Reading the information can be vital as it gives you an objective of what you’re doing. Not everything is go kill this thing or go and eliminate this group of bandits. There’ll be times where you maybe tasked with capture and espionage.” Morikawa attempted to correct that statement as not everything is as simple as reading the location. While it is true there are some teams that are specifically trained for killing as the assault line. Morikawa wants to teach Sora other ways in a more defensive way. For most cases the way the team was formed Morikawa’s belief is the defensive line. It wasn’t the fact that they’re low on numbers, but more of what Sora and Rumehi had been built.

Regardless he’ll let those words sink or if the genin wasn’t listening then the words would hit a brick wall in a metaphorical sense. Morikawa would catch the scroll as Sora tossed it back to him. Of course Morikawa had already read it since he was the one who sorted through the large stack of other missions and specifically sought this out. It was dangerous for someone who has little experience on the field, and if it was Rumehi included then Morikawa would only serve as a backup. Now it seems that Morikawa would have to actively aid Sora on this mission, which should serve no problem since Morikawa has already ran a couple of ideas of how to deal with this situation.

“Very well then. Because of our numbers i’ll aid to an extent. Least to say you won’t die on this mission without them going through me first.” Morikawa assured the genin, though perhaps not so much as an optimistic. The jonin has exprienced previously to never judge a mission at face value until you’ve assessed the situation yourself. For in this world literally anything can happen. Anywho, Morikawa would put the scroll containing the mission into his bag as he walked with his genin towards the gate.
